Maria Montero.

That's where it's all started. When Romano didn't kill her with her husband sixteen years ago.

And now she's out for blood. An eye for an eye, and an ear for an ear, while she's out to get the whole body as a token to calm her raging broken soul.

Her kid is all grown up, and after all these years of teaching him nothing but hatred and revenge for the Montero family, he is amped up ready for war.

And when she finally gets what she wants, things get twisted, mistakes are made and people gradually die. 

And Kalani now has to put on some big girl pants because somebody she once helped escape death is now out to get her family and this time, she's not giving out any second chances because what she loves most is being threaten.

Mr and Mrs Montero

I've felt pain in my life. The kind that made me want everything to stop. But this, I couldn't explain this. This kind of pain made my heart stop. This pain was far from pain. It was beyond that. This was beyond anything I've ever felt. It felt like death itself. Every single second of it, it felt like my heart was being cut into pieces, and I couldn't make it stop. 


No matter how hard I tried, it felt so hard. It felt like I was suffocating, my chest kept tightening every second, and it was making me weak to a point where I couldn't breathe. 


"Kalani, I need you to push." Eva instructed me. 


"I can't breathe." I cried out, gripping my chest. "It hurts," I broke down. 


"Eva it hurts, it hurts so bad." I kept rubbing my chest. My sobs were loud and agonizing it felt like every tear held a memory of my daughter. Who she was, and who she wanted to be.
